WASHINGTON CITY, June 25.-Land Com
missioner Sparks has transmitted TO the sec

which, if adopted, will make new departure
in the relations of the general land Office
with the corporations of the country and the
settlers. The commissioner states that it is
the practice of certain railroads, even after
the patents have been issued TO settlers, to
continue the fight in the courts, and thus by
vexatious delays and actions to so harass the
settlers who have not the means to follow the
cases rs to compel them to pay the railroad
to quiet its alleged title to the settlers land.
To stop this and to have the United States
take up the settlers fight, is the desire of
Commissioner Sparks, and he proposes that
the government do this in the case of W. M.

on his claim for twenty years and is now sued
